I mentioned its been a busy couple of weeks.. Well, it started with Dally's truck breaking down permentantly and needing to get a new(to us) truck for him. So on my Saturday off (2 weeks ag), we packed up and headed to Ft. Worth to truck shop. He had been doing a good job searching online and in our area for a truck that meets our needs. First stop, Mansfield, Tx. They had sold the truck we wanted an hour earlier, oops! Next stop, Arlington, Texas. Shady looking dealership/lot, didn't even stop. They we decide to head to Weatherford, TX (other side of Ft. Worth) since they have heavy truck lots. Found a truck we liked, price was right, financing was right, and ended up buying a 03 Dodge 2500 Diesel truck, exactly what we wanted. Since I'm a Dave Ramsy follower, I had a $1000.00 emergency fund saved up that I used as a down payment on the truck. Now I know that he wouldn't consider that an emergency, but it was a very used truck for $13,900 and I only financed it for 3 years. So, now back to builiding that emergency fund. After buying the truck, we visit a friend in Weatherford and get home around 11:00 pm.

On Sunday, we get up for church and then come home. We have been trying to get out of our rental house for a while, because it costs too much money (plus some problems with the property managment company). They found a renter who wants us out by the next weekend, i.e. 7 days! So my mom and dad come up to help us (Dally!). They managed to move us completely out of that house in 3 days total. AMAZING! We're still fighting with the PM company, but that' s a whole 'nother story. I'll post pictures about this amazing place we've moved to next time. But my money savings tip of the month, moving to this place will save us $1000.00 a month, an entire $1000.00 (if not more).

Scentsy is doing well - about to place another order, if anyone is interested February is 10% off the old catalog. I have the Spring/Summer catalog I can email for a sneak preview. Lots of cute stuff!
